How old is francesca montoya

Speaking as Karen and stepping out of the whole thing, Jonah is of legal age and so she hasn't broken the rules there, but she has broken the rules of student-teacher conduct. Although I think anyone who's watched the storyline will know that Jonah is the one who's been instigating everything - he was after Cesca and she didn't stand a chance, really!

Also, he was just so perfect to her that it was almost impossible for her to say no. I'm just so glad that I'm not in that position, because it's a really difficult one, because yes she is breaking the law and there are consequences for that. Are you glad that Cesca faced the consequences of what she'd done? They've kept it really true to life by having her arrested. Whether or not she gets prosecuted, we don't know - she has to go to trial. Fans are writing into my Facebook wall saying, 'Please tell me it's going to be okay', but even I don't know!

They've left it up in the air for us all to wonder what's going to happen to Cesca. Do you think there was a message or moral in the storyline, or was it left to the viewers to make up their own minds? They've left it for us to decide what's going to happen with Cesca and everyone can paint their own happy endings, or maybe not! But at the same time, I know that they wanted to send out a very strong message out there that student-teacher relationships are against the law and that they shouldn't happen.

That's an important message that needs to come across, and the storyline definitely wasn't out there to influence people by giving them any ideas, because it's not right. But at the same time, they wanted to also show that in this case it was real love, it was genuine and there was nothing fabricated about it. They really did love each other. If Cesca was prosecuted, would she have any regrets? I don't think she'd have any regrets. And she did say to him at the end that there were no regrets, because she wears her heart on her sleeve and she follows her heart.

Cesca Montoya arrives at Waterloo Road and is instantly liked by other staff members by her excellent Spanish speaking skills and by her students, most likely from her appearance. Year 11 pupil Harry Fisher, son of headmistress Karen Fisher, suspects that his dad, Charlie Fisher is having an affair with Cesca after finding a suspicious message on his dad's phone. Harry and fellow Year 11 pupil Sambuca Kelly go to the location mentioned in the message where they find Cesca and Charlie walking together, Harry takes a picture of this on his phone.

Karen confronts Cesca about the situation after being shown the picture by Harry. Cesca insists that she is not having an affair with Charlie, but instead, Charlie is having an affair with someone else who is close friends with Cesca. Cesca directs Karen to the woman's apartment. Cesca reluctantly runs a drug self-awareness programme for her Year 11 pupils. Her intentions backfire when Sambuca Kelly asks for money to purchase drugs from her close friends Amy Porter and Lauren Andrews so she can just throw them away afterwards in order to protect them from it.

Amy misinterprets this when she sees Sam giving Cesca the drugs after purchasing them, Amy then assumes that Sam was ratting herself and Lauren out. When Karen finds out, Cesca struggles to unravel the truth, but just manages to explain it to Karen to satisfactory and just manages to save her job, although Karen still suspends Sam when it Amy's scheme to frame Sam for the drugs succeeds, despite Cesca being able to explain Sam's good intentions to Lauren, who also helped Amy frame Sam.

When new pupil Kyle Stack unleashes a dangerous dog on Year 13 pupil Bex Fisher during a Spanish lesson, the dog goes beserk and starts attacking Cesca as well, but Cesca is then saved by Year 12 pupil Jonah Kirby, once the dog is locked in the classroom alone, Cesca is seen crying into Jonah's arms; the dog is then taken away by the police and put down.

Cesca later thanks Jonah for saving her, this episode shows the first hints of Cesca's sexual attraction towards Jonah. Cesca begins a extra Spanish lessons during lunchtime, which only Jonah bothers to attend, Jonah struggles with his accent as he intends to get an A in his Spanish A-level. Cesca explains that if he "wants to speak fluent Spanish" he just has to "work on it", as she walks away, Jonah shows signs of attraction to her.

Cesca later shelves the extra Spanish lessons during lunchtime because just having one pupil showing up is not enough to sustain the programme. Near the beginning of the day, Jonah attempts to kiss Cesca, but Cesca slaps him away.

Jonah insists to Cesca that there is "something going on" between them as Cesca continues to find it increasingly difficult to resist his seductive charm. After head of English Tom Clarkson is brutally beaten by Matthew Gurney, the father of his son's boyfriend, Cesca helps Tom home and calls Jonah at her house to comfort her, the two then share their first kiss before Cesca sends Jonah away, knowing that what she is doing is wrong.

The storyline also hits on some really relatable feelings, such as not being able to help who you fall in love with. Myself and Lucien, who plays Jonah, had separate meetings about it, and afterwards we just gave each other a big hug and said that we'd have fun with it, we were a team now and we'd give it our best shot to tell the story as best we could.

What do you think sparked the initial attraction for Cesca and Jonah? But then I think it was the dog incident in episode 11 which really started to set things in motion. For Cesca, what's the main attraction of Jonah? He's mature enough to make his feelings very clear and very known to Cesca about what he wants, and that would normally come from an older man with a bit more life experience.

This really rattles Cesca - he is only 17 but he seems to be so worldly-wise. Also, if you see them together outside of the school when he's not in uniform, it looks normal - they look like a cute loved-up couple. And let's not forget that he is of legal age - Jonah is 17 and Cesca is But she has broken the boundaries of student-teacher conduct and trust, and that's not right.

So it's a real catch with what I feel about the storyline. Does Cesca love Jonah, or are her feelings not that strong yet? I mean, if it's just a fling, it's not worth the risk for both of them, and especially for Cesca because she could lose her job. So I think that what scares Cesca is that it's so much more than just a fling and that Jonah could be the one for her. So she's been trying to follow her head and spend time with Tom, because she's hoped that might put things into perspective because he's an older man and not a student.

So it's really tricky and I do not envy Cesca's position at all!
